Hi there Do you have any information if this Via Ferrata is still open? I can't find any homepage or information about it. But google says it's closed permanently.. Thank you very much for your reply Sincerely Alec
stupid question, but what happens if you take a full fall and have your absorber fully deploy, how do you finish the route? Is there a way to reload the cord? Do you just continue and 'solo it' on a partially dynamic set? (partially dynamic from the bungee cords? ) Please @ me in the response so I see it Thank you @travelingTunas
@@lio2759 Not true, any set which is available on EU market must be able to catch after one normalized fall at least one other at the force of 9kN. So if you fall and you are able to continue the via ferrata, the set you have is safe enough to finish it. When you fall and rip off all the absorber you will have lot of problems but the one how to continue will be the last.
Not a stupid question at all. A big fall on VF gear will likely leave you in need of rescue anyway. It will save your life but the general rule is 'don't fall'. You can rest on a cow's tail attached to your harness.
Hello! When did you film this video? I heard the via ferratas on the island have been removed. Do you know anything about the current status? Are they available to climb now?
Hello Boldi, it was filmed in February 2022. This via ferrata Extraplomix was available at that time. But other one - Via ferrata La Guagua was closed because it had missing cables at the first 100-200m. It was possible to climb it only with the climbing rope and equipment.
it seems someone fixed it - when I did it in 2018, the climbing rope used to pull over the cable (seen in the video around 1:40) was missing and I couldn't continue
honestly out of all the via ferratas I've looked up none of them look very hard lol... Like even if it's overhanging all the holds are the best jugs ever
imagine going for hours on those grade b , in scorching sun or on wet surface. sometime you have to climb 1000 meters on a via ferrata compared to the 10m max for your grade b in your gym , sometimes next to vertical drops of hundreds of meters . I agree is not free solo but it definitely is harder than a normal gym climb and i agree i had harder routes in adventure parks , but you are wrong underestimating all via ferratas
@@danielstan2301Sigh. First day on the internet? A standard gag on climbing videos is to claim that the claimed grade would be significantly lower at your local gym/crag. I attempted to inject some life into a tired ubiquitous joke by applying it to the climbing adjacent discipline of via Ferrata, which obviously don’t exist at local gyms/crags. Get it? Humour? I honestly don’t know why I bother. Sigh.
@@danielstan2301 I can easily do one of the hardest via ferrata in my coutry (most people consider it to be the hardest) but the best grade i've got in sport climbing is like 6b+.... which is not very impressive. So yeah 1000m of climbing ladders feels easier than "only" 10m of actual holds
Interesting ferrata but most of all super nice video. Respect for the shots! No usuall chaos from the gopro on the helmet! :)
Thanks, @Pirat!
Nice work. This is on my to do list when I visit the island for sure.
I appreciate for keeping this short, the others would make 20 min video from it
Super.... One day I wish to go there.....
dalo by sa to zvladnuť aj bez lezečiek?

And is it still open? We are now on island and we are not sure did they remove some foot holds?

@travelingTunas
If your absorber deploys it’s ripped and you can throw it to the trash. If you don’t carry another set you’re stuck and need to be rescued.
@avi david we always carry at least one extra sling on via ferratas for such cases. For this specific via ferrata we even had a rope for abseil.
In the worst case you can use the given, but finished one to continue, wrapping and knot the thing around the belt.

Status is closed but i been there yesterday and still passed.
But i stringly recommend just for really experienced climbers.

Impressive ! Well done. Good choice of music !
Thank you!
Enhorabuena equipo, muchos lo intentan pero pocos lo consiguen. hay que estar muy fuerte para poder terminar la Extraplomix. K7 - G. Felicidades.
Gracias, Juan!
Aka je dlha .? A je ozaj F kova?
Cca 70 výškových metrov. Väčšina ferraty je prevyslá vrátane úsekov v strope jaskyne. Takže F obtiažnosť je opodstatnená.
Very cool, it would take me a year to get good enough to try that one, that swing was EPIC!
Super !
wow 👍 gutes Argument für den nächsten Urlaub 🥂
Is this ferrata opened? Google say its permanently closed.
We did it in January 2022 and it was possible.
it seems someone fixed it - when I did it in 2018, the climbing rope used to pull over the cable (seen in the video around 1:40) was missing and I couldn't continue
Thats not even ferrata anymore :D
honestly out of all the via ferratas I've looked up none of them look very hard lol... Like even if it's overhanging all the holds are the best jugs ever
yeah. even this one seems like a warmup before any proper sport route project
I get what your saying. But I'm guessing some of these are after a good few hours of the route. That's what makes it hard?
Don't you love armchair experts conveying their expert opinions from their armchairs? **Slow clap**
@@andresmartinez6134 done few E grade ones. still haven't found it any dangerous, any tiring and any difficult.
@@andresmartinez6134 I've been climbing for a while... done a good amount of sport and trad stuff.
aww fuck that's hot
Yeeeeah, no.....
Might as well having titled this video “worlds hardest walk to the fridge”. If it’s a via ferrata they’re the same difficulty
So much hate from peeps! Why the need to compare rock climbing to via Ferrata? Obviously lots of crossovers but they are not the same!
Grade B at my gym.
imagine going for hours on those grade b , in scorching sun or on wet surface. sometime you have to climb 1000 meters on a via ferrata compared to the 10m max for your grade b in your gym , sometimes next to vertical drops of hundreds of meters .

Socks and climbing shoes....
And ?
Rookies or noobies do that. Climbing shoes were designed to be worn without socks you can read about that.
